Chelsea midfielder N’Golo Kante has been seen in training for the first time since suffering a serious hamstring injury in October which ruled him out of the World Cup.

Graham Potter’s side take on Liverpool at Anfield on Saturday lunchtime, with both sides having been badly underperforming in the Premier League this season.
Kante has been an integral part of the Chelsea squad since arriving from Leicester in 2016, winning the Premier League and  Champions League during his time at Stamford Bridge.

The French world champions have missed just one game against Liverpool in their entire Premier League career, one game after the Reds have already won the league title.

Kante, who is under contract at Stamford Bridge this summer, has worked individually at Cobham and it remains to be seen if he is fit enough to travel to Anfield for the weekend. If used by Potter, Kante will certainly help put a 10th-placed Chelsea side into the game on a par with Liverpool. Both teams will be desperately looking for three points on Saturday.
